Mediaboss Marketing

PHILADELPHIA When a high school newspaper at a suburban Philadelphia football powerhouse decided the word Redskins had no place in its pages, the paper's student editors found themselves called to the principal's office.

The dispute between Neshaminy High School's paper, the Playwickian, and school administrators is a strange twist on the fight over what students can and can't say: This time, it's the students urging restraint.

The Playwickian editors started getting heat from school officials as a result of an Oct. 27 editorial that barred the use of the word Redskins the nickname of the teams at Neshaminy, a school named for the creek where the Lenape Indians once lived.

Detractors will argue that the word is used with all due respect. But the offensiveness of a word cannot be judged by its intended meaning, but by how it is received, read the editorial backed by 14 of 21 staff members.

(An equally well-written op-ed voiced the dissenting group's opinion.)

The ban occurs as Native American activists and a few media outlets, along with President Obama, challenge the moniker of Washington's NFL team, which visits Philadelphia on Sunday.

At Neshaminy where the welcome sign sometimes reads: Everybody do the Redskin Rumble and the football team is 11-1 with a shot at its second state title news editors had pledged to stop using the term Redskins as far back as 2001 but sometimes wavered. This year's staff decided to take it on full-force.

You are not afraid to write about the hard and sensitive issues. You take risks on editorial pages bravo! judges wrote last month in a student journalism contest, when the Playwickian earned a top award.

Nonetheless, principal Robert McGee ordered the editors to put the Redskins ban on hold, and summoned them to a meeting after school on Tuesday, according to Gillian McGoldrick, the editor-in-chief.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Ann Coulter - Video

I am not sure if those super-sensitive Nigerian reactionaries who bawled inconsolably at the one liner anti-Nigeria wisecrack by the Canadian-Latino-American Texas Republican Senator Ted Cruz have seen the latest in-your face anti-Nigeria diatribe by the Arian American Republican hothead, Ann Coulter.

http://www.humanevents.com/2013/11/13/to-speak-to-a-nigerian-prince-about-your-health-care-press-1-now/

Here are some snippets from Coulters, for those who havent read her 13Nov13 Obamacare article.

[Quote] If you call today, you can sign up for Obamacare plus learn about a Nigerian prince in exile who's willing to share his vast inheritance with you in exchange for your bank account numbers.

In America, we think only dumb people become criminals. That's not true in the Third World! Nigeria, for example, leads the world in criminal enterprises. Every level of Nigerian society is criminal, with the smart ones running Internet scams, the mid-range ones running car theft rings, and the stupid ones engaging in piracy and kidnapping. At the University of Lagos, you can major in credit card fraud.

There were almost no Nigerians in the United States until the 1970s. Today, there are nearly 250,000 Nigerians in the U.S. (committing the cyber-crime Americans just won't do!). In 2011, we took in more immigrants from Nigeria than from the United Kingdom (9,246 from the U.K. and 9,344 from Nigeria). [Unquote]

Oh Ann, you dont say.

And boy, did she know how to support her arguments with data?

I say nothing is ever whiter and fouler than Coulters vomits any time the sister spews.

Hear her again: Nigeria, for example, leads the world in criminal enterprises..At the University of Lagos, you can major in credit card fraud.
